This etching by Giovanni Battista Falda, created in 1691, depicts the Villa Mondragone in Frascati, Italy. The image is part of a larger series of prints documenting the fountains of Rome and its surrounding areas. Falda was a renowned architectural draftsman known for his detailed and accurate renderings of buildings and landscapes. This print, showcasing the villa's impressive gardens with their geometric parterres and cascading fountains, exemplifies the beauty and grandeur of Italian Renaissance architecture. The print is a valuable record of the Villa Mondragone, a testament to the architectural prowess of the time.
